unhapny fact that the Kaiser and Crown
Prince William are estranged) and adds
graphic strength to the report that the
head of the Hohenzollerns Is so "at

he practically Ignores him. Here two
strong wills clash: the older man lm
perious hut polite; the younger man
democratic less Guarded.
From the newest photograph of the
Kaiser and those dearest to him, me
crown prince is absent. In the picture
are two sons of the crown prince, to
whom the Emperor is dev otedly attached,
and Prince Adelberth, the Kaiser1 third
son. Germany's "Sailor Prince," who,
while he has sometimes angered the Em
peror by his escapades, has never dared
to combat openly the desires of 4ls
father and sovereign. The crown prince
is conspicuously absent from the group.
The truth Is that the Emperor has
never forgiven the crown prince since
that extraordinary scene In the Reich
stag, which 1111 surely become historical,
when the Kaiser's heir openly opposed
his father's foreign poller. A spark
would then hate exploded a frightful

Berlin. Oct. 12. The Posen mystery has
been solved bv the confession of Dr.
Blume's wife She admits that she shot
her husband In n moment of excitement.
The actual cause of the crime seems to
have been a written acknowledgment of

which the woman was rendered desper

expert at the Kaiser Friedrlch Museum
at I'osen. was found shot in a wood
near Posen on September 10 It was
supposed at the tlmo that his death was
due to an accident
Certain Investigations jade by the po
lice cast suspicion on Frau Blume of
being In some degree responsible for the
tragedy, and she was arrested.
The couple were married six months
apo. but frequent quarrels occurred re

absorbing. Interest in his professional

After her arrest. Frau Blume, who 1
only twenty ears old, told the police
that she and her husband were about to
take a- Journey from a suburban rail
way station at Posen, and as they had
to wait an hour for a train they strolled
through a forest. She expressed alarm
on hearing; a suspicious noise, and her
husband exhibited a revolver, which aft

MURDERS WIDOW
Paris Has Tragedy in Which Boy
Kills Woman with Whom He
Is Infatuated.
Pari. Oct. li Marcel Pflscher, a clerk
of twenty-one, had fallen desperately In
love with Mme. Proux. a widow some
ten j ears his senior, employed in the
same office in the Boulevarde de l'Hos
pita!. Pflscher was of a reserved and
somewhat morose disposition, and had
been deeply affected by the death of
his mother a jear before. His whole
life centered In his passion for the wid
ow. Knowing his character, Mme. Proux
was afraid to tell him the truth, namely,
that she was to be married in October to
another man. When Pflscher Implored
her to marry him she would answer:
"Walt till you've done jour military
service, and then we'll see." for she
hoped that out of sight would be out of
mind
Unfortunately, Pflscher learned the
truth from some source or other. More
than once he used threats. "I will kill
jou," he said, "rather than see you be
long to another."
Early in the morning, soon after the
opening of the oBHce, the few clients pres

portion of the building reserved for em

out, and then a fourth. There was a

Budapest. Oct. 12. The almost unin
telligible "class" distinctions which are
Ingrained in Hungarian society have
been the cause of an arousing ending In
a quarrel here between two bathers.
Count Karl Esterhazy, a lieutenant of
Hussars, was entering his cabin at the
Hungarian Baths when he collided with
Ladislas Racz,the middle aged son of
Paul Racz. the so-called King' of. the
gypsies. The CountBDdtb,e gypsy were

Indorsement of an open militant policy
Infuriated the Kaiser, who promptly
packed the Crown Prince off to Dantsle,
"promoting" him to command the crack
"Death's Head." Hussars stationed there.
Despite the prayers of the Empress,
despite the Emperor's affection for ths
crown nrincess and her children, the
crown prince remained In Dantsio until
the Kaiser became convinced his son wa
threatened with an affection of the
throat resembling that which waa fatal
to the Kaiser's father. Emperor Fred
erick. Then he was permitted to return to
Potsdam. For his father's ire had been
excited by other phases of the crown
prince's conduct than bis behavior In
the Reichstag. His Independent opln
Ions, his open sympathy with tke work
lngmen's union, his speech at his wed
ding festival, his simplicity of manner
and known aversion to flattery, all hava
leaned heavily on the balance toward the
Liberal party. Now. as these dispatches
have told, the Kaiser deliberately snubs
his first born; they never correspond
when apart and rarelv speak to each
other. The Kaiser refused to review the
crown prince's regiment at the recent,
maneuvers, even absented himself the
other day from the birthday fete bf the
crown princess, of whom he la very
fond, democratic as she Is.

King George as
of
English Ruler to Visit Daughter of Whit el aw Reid
and Countess of Stafford Mrs. Astor
Will Spend Winter in America.
London. Oct 12. King George Is to
honor two American hostesses with
visits. Cora, Countess of Strafford, for
merly Mrs. Colgate and her third hus
band. Martyn T. Kennard. will entertain
the King for a day's pheasant shooting
at Houghton. A great bag Is expect
ed as none on the estate has been al
lowed to Are a gun since the first of the
month.
Lady Strafford was much liked by the
late King Edward and although King
George is not on such Intimate terms
he has a great admiration for Mr. Ken
nard. who Is a fine sportsman, and for
his cheerful spouse. Houghton Is an Im
mense house belonging to Lord Chol
mondeley and Is rented by Mrs. Ralph
Vivian, also an American, who sublets
It to Lady Strafford.
The King will only spend the day at
Houghton, but after the Newmarket
races he will make a visit of several
days to the Honorable Mrs John Ward,
daughter of Whltelaw Reld. at Chilton,
which has the best pheasant shooting In
Berkshire. Chilton was acquired a year
ago by Mr. Reld for his daughter, who
has made It a most luxurious place.
Friends of Mr. Reld here are rather
surprised st the prominence given to an
interview in New York with the Am
bassador, who stated thst he was con
sidering returning to his own country
to live. His friends here have known
for several months that he will sever
his official connection In London next
March, but he has no Intention of living
all the year around In America. The
Relds will pay annual summer visits to
their daughter here, and will also have a
London home.
The town Is gradually filling up. and

GERMAN VISITORS
WRITE OF AMERICA
Complaint Ii Hade of Taxicabs and
Poor Condition of New
York Streets.
Berlin. Oct 12. Good and bad reports
are sent to the German press by the
German physicians who attended the In
ternational Medical Congress in America.
While praising the hospitality of Amer
icans generally and finding the trip most
Interesting, the delegates agree on the
Imminent dangers of traveling In New
York automobiles, partly because of the
bad streets, but particularly because of
the reckless driving of 'American chauf
feurs. v
Writing to the Berliner Zeltung. one of
the physicians said:
"Four of us were spilled out of an
automobile on the first day we were In
New York, but fortunately we escaped
with our lives. The machines are not
only worse than those in Berlin and
Paris and London, but more expensive.
The streets are full of holes, thst are
only, partly filled with dirt
But this opinion on New York streets
is only a one-sided one, for Mayor Gay
nor told us in Mr speech at .our, opening
reception that New York owned the
cleanest and best streets In the world.
Herr Gaynor's speech waa a very Inter
esting one. Ha will soon fight tor re-election,
aa be gave us an .idea of municipal
politics, which are- vejy dishonest and
also an idea of American eloquence,
which stands very high. i
"Our most Interesting experience was
a visit to Ellis Island, upon which are
erected the barriers t.ht render the" ad
mission of poor immigrants most diffi
cult He who- thinks that, social dis
tinctions cease ln America - Is quickly
apprised of his mistake." -

TITLED AMERICANS
ARE FAST FRIENDS
Duchess of Eoxburghe and Lady
Alastair Innes-Ker Almost
Inseparable.
London, Oct. 12. Those two charming
Americans, the Duchess of Roxburghe
end Lady Alastair Innes-Ker, are almost
Inseparable nowadays. They married
brothers and their close friendship Is
regarded as the more remarkable be
cause Lord Alastair Innes-Ker, a cap
tain In the Royal Horse Guards. Is heir
presumptive to the dukedom of Rox
burghe. Besides, his wife, who was An
rie Breese, of New York, has presented
him with a son now four years old. So
the ancient Scotlsh family la In no dan
ger of. extinction.
So far from being Jealous of this boy,
he seems to draw the childless duchess
closer to Lady Alastair. Indeed. If It
were possible. It Is said she has trans
ferred to her little nephew all her-affections.
After nine years of married life
the duchess, who was May Ooelet of
New York, and who Inherited a fortune
from her father, Ogden Goelet, has not
blessed her lord with a child. It Is diffi
cult for those In America to understand
the Intense disappointment of an English
nobleman who has to give up hoping
that his titles would descend directly.
A touch of fatalism and romance le
given to the slant In in the Roxburghe
heirship by the fact that .It was the
duchess herself who chose tot Lord
Alastalr's bride the now happy mother
who may succeed her as duchess. The
duchess Introduced the young couple and
carried on a vigorous, but unobtrusive
and diplomatic campaign as matchmaker.
To her belongs the credit for the union.
She sang Lord Alastalr's praises to her
friend, and she brought them together
st every opportunity.

many are somewhat Worried .over the
fact that the number of Roman Cath
olics within the empire Is growing much
faster than thai of their own. Offlofal
statistics just published show that Ro
man Catholics have Increased In Prus
sia at a greater rate than Protestants
sines 1171 and In other parts of the empire,
sines ItSO. In 100 the Roman Catholics
formed MM per cent of the entire pop
ulation: -In IKS the percentage bad risen
to SCtS. and in M10 to USB. The ex
planation given Is that In general. Ro
man Ckthollo families have a " larger
natursi increase than Protestant, and
that tke Protestants form a larger pro
portion of the population of large towns
and of the educated and richer classes,
where large families are Infrequent Be
sides, ths Poles, who are Roman Cath
olics, have Invariably large families, and
most Of the Immigrants to Germany from
other countries are adherents of the
Church of Rome.
With regard to the diminution In the
number of Protestants, there Is more
apparent In Prussia than In other states
of ths empire. In five years the num
ber of persons entering themselves as
without any religious confession rose
from 17.S03 to nearly 30S.000. It Is be
lieved that this Is largely due to the
existence 'of the Social Democratic party,
which advises Its adherents to secede
from the national church.

role that of a performer on the harpsi
chord. The entertainment, or which this will
be the main feature. Is In aid of the
inevitable Shakespeare Memorial Fund.

tired. Still, much sympathy Is felt with
Mrs West for the hopeless weather this
summer killed the chances of the Shakes
peare's England exhibition, which she
Is running at Earle's Court. It Is known
that so far from there being a hand
some sum to hand over to the fund,
there will be a heavy deficit which It
Is hoped this concert will make good.
In addition to her solos, Mrs. West
will play a gavotte on the harpsichord,
to which the Hon. Neville Lytton will
dance. I.vtton Is an aesthetic young
man of thirty-three, a brother-in-law of
Mrs. West and a great friend of Countess

an amateur tennis championship, and
paints moderate! well, but Is new to
fame as a dancer.

a climax when he pointed out to the
California girl that she Is In line for
the throne of Cleopatra. The last ar
gument staggered the Callfornian. who
asked time to consider, and also Im

be compelled to live like an Oriental
woman; that she be given a palace of
her own In London and Paris, as well
as In Egvpt
The request will probably be grant

Captain .Day, Tells How His Boat, Detroit,
Weathered Waves arid Storm and
Established New Record.
London, Oct 1!. Captain Day, of De
troit has arrived- here, having accom
plished the unique and perilous feat of
crossing the western ocean In a petrol
driven boat during a voyage from De
troit to Bt Petersburg.
The Detroit the name of the boat In
which this hazardous voyage waa made,
was only SS feet In length, and Capt
Day. who was accompanied by c u.
Earle (mitt), Walter H. Moreton (chief
engineer), and Keith Ferguson (second
engineer), took more than two months
to complete the trip. During tne voy
age the four men suffered many hair
breadth escapes from destruction by
storms, fire, and scarcity of water. Mr.
Earle In describing their adventures said:
"We left Detroit. SOO miles from New
Tork. on July 2. Our boat waa fitted
with a lt-horsepower Scrlpps engine, giv
ing a maximum speed of 6 1-2 knots. We
got to New York on July 14. left two
days later, and arrived at Queenstown
on August 7.
"From Queenstown we went to South
ampton, from Southampton to Ostend.
Qstend to Amsterdam, thence through
the canals of Holland to Brunsbruttel,
aftrrtrsrd through the Kiel Canal, and
from Kiel direct to St Petersburg, ar
riving on September 12. We left the
Detroit at St Petersburg, and after stay
ing there a week we came to London by
steamer.
"Our boat" continued Mr. Earle. "was
the first petrol-propelled boat ever to
cross the Atlantic, and. furthermore. It
mide a record both In respect of size and
the time occupied. Only one other motor
boat ever crossed the western ocean,
and took thirty-eight days, against our
twenty-one. from land to land.
MUSHROOMS CLAIM
v MANY IN FRANCE
Unusual Number Die as a Result of
Eating Poisonous
Variety.
Paris. Oct 12. Deaths from poisonous
mushrooms are reported dally. The roll
for the last month, for Instance. Is four
teen workmen dead and three dying In
the Vesges, where nine persons have al
ready succumbed to the same cause in
the last ten da. One workman Is dead
at Nancy, three are dangerously III, and,
finally, a family of five has been poison
ed at Versailles, one having died, while
the four others are In the hospital.
The extraordinary thing is that ex
perts in fungi every year warn against
the deadly danger of certain mushrooms,
but without avail They repeat early
that the time-honored tests, such aa
boiling the mushrooms with a silver
spoon, are of no use whatever, tor In
this particular case the mot deadly of
all fungi. It seems, precisely do not turn
the spoon black. Another remarkable
circumstance Is that only one species of
poisonous muhroom Is really deadly,
but then it is so deadly that one frag
ment In a dish will suffice to kill all who
partake of the dish. Other bad kinds
of mushrooms merely make the eater
feel queer, and he generally recovers.
INSANITY ON INCREASE.
London. Oct. 12. The general conclu
sion which may be safely draw n from the
facts Is that alcohol possesses compara
tively small Importance as a cause of
li'sanlty in Ireland. This Is the conclu
sion come to by the Inspector of Lunacy
In Irelsnd. whose report has Just been
lieued as a blue book.
Alcoholic addiction, say the Inspectors,
occurs in two forms drunkenness and
chronic alcoholism. The former Is very
prevalent in Ireland, and Is much less
serious as a cause or Insanity. The in
spectors report an Increase of 261 luna
t'cs between 1911 and 1912.
Comparing the number of lnane per
1C0 000 of population with the figure In
1SP0. It is seen that the figure has more
than doubled itself. In 1SS0 the number
under care represented 230 per 100,000. In
1911 It had jumped to XL

SOFFRAGETTE TRIES
SUICIDEBYSTARYING
Imprisoned Woman Then Discharg
ed When Her Condition Be
came Critical.
London. Oct 12. The question whether
the suffragists in prison in Ireland
should be allowed to commit suicide by
the hunger strike was answered In
dramatic fashion.
Mrs. Mary Leigh, one of the two Eng
lish suffragists sentenced to five years
penal servitude for attempted arson at
the Theater RoyaL Dublin, on the oc
casion of Mr. Asqulth's visit, wis re
leased from Mountjoy Prison In a state
of Physical collapse.
She had been forcibly fed for fortj
four davs. and during the last few- days
alarming changes occurred In her health.
Sir Christopher Nixon and Sir Thomas
Myles were called to the pr"son to ex
amine her. Soon after, on their advice,
she was conveed to a private hospital.
The effect on her health is attributed
noi to the forcible feeding but to delib
erate starvation, as she has acquired the
knack of ejecting her food as soon as
adm'nlstered. The other prisoner. Glad) s
Evans, has not become debilitated so far,
and It Is stated that her hunger Is fitful.
Mrs. Leigh was discharged later ft the
day on license by order of the lord Jus
tices of the Privy Council. In the absence
of the lord lieutenant, and her Imprison
ment term Is practically canceled, as
her license amounts In effect to com
plete discharge.
